Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  MCF-7 Cell Growth Study
Description:  Compound activity was analyzed using celltiter-glo luminescent viability assay (Promega #G7572) in breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Cells grown in log phase are trypsinized and seeded into a 96-well cell culture plate at a density of 2×103 per well and incubated overnight at 37° C. with 5% CO2 in humidified culture chamber. The next day, compounds were prepared in 100% DMSO and were serially diluted and added into cells in the following final concentrations: 316, 100, 31.6, 10, 3.16, 1, 0.32, 0.1, 0.03, 0.01, 0.003 and 0.001 nM. As a control, same volume and concentration of DMSO vehicle control solution was added to the control wells in each plate. The cells were incubated with compounds at 37° C. culture chamber for 6 days. Promega's celltiter-glo kit was used to analyze the cell viability, according to manufacture's instruction. Briefly, fifty microliter of celltiter-glo reagent was added to each well, plate (covered with aluminum foil) was gently vibrated for 10 min to induce cell lysis at room temperature. Luminescence was measured using a SPECTRAmax i3 reader. Cell growth inhibition IC50 is calculated using GraphPad Prism V5.0 software. % inhibition=(1−(max signal/min signal))*100%.
